WELCOME

The Shenandoah Region of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) is a central Virginia organization dedicated to the enjoyment of Porsche cars. While Porsches are the common element, our members provide the club with variety and enthusiasm. We organize scenic driving tours, run six autocrosses each year, and take part in high-performance driver's education events at the Virginia International Raceway. Our premier summer event is the Richmond Porsche Meet (RPM), a weekend including a "tops only" Concours d'Elegance, lunch, driving tour, tech session, banquet, and an autocross at the Southside Speedway. We also hold a Christmas party and several social/business meetings annually.

Non-members are welcome to participate in a social meeting, a driving tour, or an autocross at the Augusta Government Center. Visit JOIN PCA to learn how you can become a member.

To learn more about our club and its activities, investigate our web site, look at the on-line issues of our monthly newsletter, or contact any club officer. We are part of the larger PCA Zone 2 and the PCA national organizations.
